Stephanie's Wedding

My Cousins Stephanie got married today and it was such a beautiful reception. We weren't able to make it to the ceremony since I was in charge of the cake this morning :), but the reception and lunch were great. I'm a new fan of greenhouse weddings. SO Pretty! Just beautiful greenery and flowers everywhere. And thanks again Stephanie for letting me make your cake. I feel honored to have been a part of your special day. You looked stunning and I'm so happy for you!

Birthday Fun

Since Mom and Dad are headed down to St. George for awhile and won't be around next week for my birthday next week, we got together tonight for a little early birthday fun. They came down and we had dinner at the park. It was such a beautiful day, and it was nice to get out after being in all day working on cake for tomorrow.
I even got to open a few presents! Mom and Dad got me an Ipod Nano! Whoohoo, I've wanted an ipod forever so I'm super excited. And since my computer died a few weeks ago they gave me a "new to me" laptop! Thanks Mom and Dad! I love them both and its awesome. Aaron's glad to not have to share his new computer with me anymore lol and I'm glad to have my own that I can put as much cake stuff on that I want.
The kids loved getting to play at the park a little and wrestling with Grandpa. We'll miss Mom and Dad while they are in St. George, but we hope that they have a good time.

June Cakes

Thanks Evelyn ;) I stole the collage from your blog. I hope you don't mind. Evelyn has been so cool to take such great pictures for me of my cakes. Her photography makes them look even better than I can and I love it! Check her out at Freckles Photography.

So here are the pics of the latest cakes. When I get the pics from her I'll out some more up of them individually :) So next month will be a year since I made my very first wedding cake. Pretty Cool. I still have a few more this month that i'm looking forward too. My cousin Stephanies being one of them :) Then I get to relax a little in July since I decided not to book any cakes then. I'll just be doing a few b-day cakes and having fun with my boys who I missed so much when I was so busy last week.

I am looking to fill up August and september though so if you know anyone getting married send them my way :)

Tagged

So here it goes, I never do these, always think I will, and I enjoy reading them when other people do them, I just get lazy when its my turn.
So Catherine tagged me and here are the rules.
A ~ Each person has to list 6 facts/habits about them.
B ~ After part A, go to 6 people's blogs and leave a comment letting them know to read your blog, and that they have been tagged. List at the end of your posting who you have tagged.

1. I hate getting up in the morning, unless I wake up on my own, but when someone else wakes me up and tells me to get up, especially my kids, I immediately get grumpy. I hate it. I wish I could sleep till I'm ready to get up everyday. I used to. Sometimes that meant it was noon before I came around. I remember my mom coming in my room to get me up for school when I was younger and opening the blinds and turning on the lights. Argh, it was awful. I don't blame her, I'll probably do the same to my kids, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

2. I've pretty much always hated the way I look. And now that I've had kids and my bad eating and lack of good exercise habits have caught up with me, I look back on how I used to look and think I was crazy for not being happy with it. But I think a lot of us can say that. Oh to be 16 again. Maybe one day I'll find the motivation to actually do something other than complain about it. Maybe.

3. I love, LOVE, kitties. I think most of you already knew this, but I don't think you really understand how much I love them. I'd rather cuddle up around my fluffy white kitty at night and listen to him purr than snuggle with my husband. Not that I don't love him more than the kitty, I really do. He's just not as cuddly. And I LOVE to snuggle with the cats right after I get out of the shower. They're soo soft. Anyways, that's probably more than you wanted to know. Just know that as long as I can and my kids and I aren't allergic enough to be sick from them, we will always have a kitty or 2. I apologize to all our friends and family that are allergic and so can't come to my house, but I'll come to you.

4. I chew my fingernails till they hurt, and don't want to stop. Nevermind that I have a few chipped teeth because of it. It helps me deal with stress.

5. I believe in retail therapy. It works. Always.

6. I'm really bad at taking medicine. Sometimes I go to the dr., get a prescription, fill it, and then it sits in my cupboard untouched until I finally throw it away. This usually works fine when I have simple things like a sinus infection or such, I still seem to get better. But with maintenance drugs like my allergy pills or my "happy" pills, its a problem. I'm trying to get better.

So thats it, probably more about me than you eer wanted to know. I tag Evelyn, Liz, Lisa B, Ginna, Lechelle, and Cory.
